Spring colours
Today is definitely the first time I have felt springtime year. Walking out on the dog walk just now, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was late afternoon. And in 15 minutes, it’s turn a shade darker. The colours of Balgay Cemetery hit me as Chew-dog and I walked through. This morning on the way…
